Basically my rig is a few years old, currently resides in a Coolermaster Praetorian chassis I would like to keep, spec. is as follows:
Operating System
MS Windows XP Professional 32-bit SP3
CPU
Intel Pentium 4 540
Prescott 90nm Technology
RAM
2.0GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 334MHz 5-5-5-15
Motherboard
MICRO-STAR INTERNATIONAL CO., LTD MS-7176 (Socket 775)
Graphics
DELL S2409W @ 1920x1080

256MB RADEON X850 Series (ATI)
256MB RADEON X850 Series - Secondary (ATI)

Optical Drives
SONY CD-RW CRX230E
SONY DVD RW DW-D22A
ELBY CLONEDRIVE SCSI CdRom Device

I'm looking to order the following:
Anything you would change?
Will this all fit inside my trusty Coolermaster Praetorian?
Could I go to the Asus 5850 graphics and not suffer?
Is there anything that looks incompatible with something else?
Do I really need Windows 7 Pro 64-bit or would Home 64-bit do just as well?
